Little black (shirt) dress
Added Oct 15, 2012
Perth, Australia
This dress was made from a pattern (Burda 3504) found in an op shop. This is a great, simple pattern for a dress that everyone needs! At the time I found this pattern, I was in need of a new black shirt dress – my current, shop-bought one was quite faded (due to much wear) and definitely not as black as I desired… so #WIN!
This is the 3rd dress I've made using this pattern. There's another one made out of navy blue (with 3/4 length sleeves), and another one out of black, with 3/4 length sleeves and gold buttons.
I've blogged more about the dress over here :: http://bscperthwa.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/little-black-shirt-dress/
Material Notes
A voile/lawn weight black cotton. (It's really hard to find shirt dress-weight fabric in Perth, Australia)

A few weeks back in edition 55 of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' I posted up a news article (HERE) which announced the release of two new products from a brand called House of Dorchester. I have to admit that I had never heard of the brand before, though further investigation showed that they had infact been producing chocolate for over 40 years. On their packaging they even claim to be 'the home of great British chocolates' - I know a few manufactures who would have something to say about that (Cadbury spring to mind!).
Despite my lack of knowledge around the brand I couldn't help myself when I saw these two new products sitting on the shelf in my local Sainsbury's. Both packs were priced on an introductory offer of 79p each, which at first had me thinking this was incredible value what with the relatively nice looking outer packaging. Looks of course can be very decieving, which is something I discovered as I took the products from the shelves. To my amazement the packs were as light as feather - both weighing only 40.0g each and containing only four very small sized 10.0g chocolate pieces. Since writing this review, Liz at Foodstufffinds has written a very funny post documenting her thoughts about the so called 'slab' pieces involved here - I suggest you take a look. Suffice to say I was very underwhelmed by the size of the slabs myself - this was not at all how I imagined these to be.
Below are my thoughts on the two flavours
House of Dorchester Double Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows
Kcal 525 Fat 30.0g Carbs 56.0g (per 100.0g)
'Milk chocolate topped with marshmallows & chocolate flakes'
The size and thin nature of the slabs meant that each piece could be comfortably consumed in two pretty shortlived mouthfuls. Aroma wise these marshmallow slabs offered little aside from some pretty standard milk chocolate scents which did little to grab my attention in any manner. The milk chocolate bases reminded me somewhat of what you would get from a Ritter Sport bar. The taste was predominently sweet and milky and on the whole pleasant enough, but at the heart of matters it didn't have any differentiated attributes which made it somewhat generic tasting. The additional mini marshmallows did very little in regards to adding flavour, however they were at least texture enhancing and brought a nice bit of variety to the soft melting chocolate. Overall these weren't in any manner horrible but they were totally uninspiring.
6.2 out of 10
House of Dorchester Double Chocolate with Caramel Fudge Pieces
Kcal 531 Fat 30.9g Carbs 56.6g
'Milk chocolate topped with caramel fudge pieces and white chocolate'
If the Mini Marshmallow chocolates above sounded a little boring to you then I'm sure you will agree with me that these Caramel Fudge slabs were the more exciting prospect. Presentation wise they certainly did look the more attractive, with the drizzled lick of white chocolate and golden coloured fudge pieces certainly looking like they had more thought put in to them. Unfortunately just like the Marshmallow slabs the chocolate was equally as average, even with the extra white chocolate thrown in to the mix. If anything the white chocolate just made the taste more sugary, though it was hard picking out whether this was a consequence of the white chocolate or the dire caramel fudge pieces. What was so dire about the fudge!? Well it was horrifically hard and carried a harsh brown sugar like flavour burst that has to be said was more harmful to the taste than it was enhancing. There were no buttery, salty caramel flavours that I could detect - I even ended up picking off the fudge pieces on the last slab I tried. Overall very disappointing and not a product I would consider every buying again.
5.4 out of 10
It would be interesting to hear any readers thoughts or opinions on either one of these prodcuts. As you can tell by my write ups and reviews I was tremendously disappointed with the quality of both.

Game report: UConn men crush Detroit
STORRS -- Trailing early, UConn finished the first half on a 35-9 run and kept rolling in the second, hammering Detroit 101-55 Thursday at Gampel Pavilion.
The Huskies shot 57 percent from the floor and connected on 11-of-19 3-pointers.
Star of the game: Take your pick. Both Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright were chasing triple-doubles, but the lopsided score sent them to the bench at the 11:45 mark of the second half. Napier finished with 10 points, eight assists and eight rebounds while Boatright went for 12 points, seven assists and six boards.
For the third straight game, Niels Giffey erupted in the first half, pouring in 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting. For the third straight game, he was scoreless in the second half. Not that it mattered Thursday.
Key to the win: UConn's ball movement. The Huskies shredded the zone, outraced Detroit in transition and, really, just scored at will against a helpless Detroit defense.
Worth noting: Shabazz Napier moved into ninth place on the school's all-time assist list, passing A.J. Price. ¦ Omar Calhoun led five Huskies in double figures with 17 points. ¦ DeAndre Daniels snapped out of his two-game funk, registering 11 points and four rebounds in 14 minutes. He sat out most of the first half with two fouls. ¦ Walk-on Tor Watts scored his first career points on a layup in the final two minutes. ¦ The Huskies hit 100 points on a Leon Tolksdorf lay-in.
Up next: Sunday vs. Boston University, noon, Gampel Pavilion (ESPNU)

Black Sox in championship
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – After defeating Rogers Optimist 11-7 in the first round of the Senior American Legion State Tournament, the Bryant Black Sox handled the North Little Rock Colts 14-4 in seven innings in round two on Saturday. On Sunday, the Black Sox had a little trouble scoring against their new rival Texarkana Razorbacks, but came out on the right side of a pitcher's duel defeating their Zone 4 championship opponents 3-1 to advance to the championship game regardless of what they do against Paragould tonight.
With the score tied at 1-1 going into the bottom of the eighth inning, Bryant's Tyler Nelson led the inning off with a bloop single to left field against Texarkana lefty starter Timmy Buchanan. Nelson went to second base when Buchanan balked for the first time in the game, but Josh Pultro struck out swinging at an inside curve ball after being up in the count 3-0. Black Sox catcher Hayden Lessenberry, who was 0 for 3 with two strike outs and a pop out before, singled in Nelson from second base for the go-ahead run and 2-1 lead, and went to second on the throw home.
Marcus Wilson was up next and did what he has been doing all tournament long and that's hit the ball. Wilson, who is 8 for 13 (.615 average) with eight runs, five RBIs, one home run and three doubles in the three games, showed more of his power doubling over the right fielder's head.
"He just keeps coming up big," Bryant Coach Darren Hurt said. "He's got it to where we got to have him at the bottom of our order. Producing runs down there is huge. That's what he's doing."
Lessenberry was at second and waited to see if the fielder caught the ball, but ended up being thrown out at home.
"I hated getting one thrown out at the plate here," Hurt said. "We made a mistake and tagged on that. We're not supposed to tag on that, but Ozzie come up and got the big hit to get the run anyway."
Bryant second baseman Ozzie Hurt, who had also struggled early in the game with two strike outs and a fly out, singled in Wilson from third base for an insurance run and 3-1 lead going into the ninth.
"The third run was huge just for a pitcher's [mindset]," Hurt said. "A two-run lead instead of a one-run lead, that takes one at bat, one swing out of the pitcher for tying it up."
Hurt also spoke of the bottom of his order producing when it counted.
"We've had guys all year long just find a way get it done," he said. "Whether it's the bottom of the order, top of the order, we just pick each other up and they play for each other. They play the game hard which pays off in games like this."
That's all Bryant starting pitcher Jordan Taylor needed as he was stellar throughout. He retired the last six batters he faced including ending the game with a fast ball down the middle of the plate for a strike out, his 11th.
Taylor got the win and was a workhorse. He gave up one run on seven hits and two walks in nine innings. He struck out 11 Razorbacks while throwing 129 pitches.
"What a gutty pitching effort," Hurt said. "The thing is, he didn't just cruise through [the game]. He had some situations that were really tough and got us out of it."
Taylor got into trouble in the top of the fourth when he hit a man and walked a batter before a failed sacrifice bunt attempt and two strike outs ended the inning. The Razorbacks had runners in scoring position with less than two outs in the seventh and eighth innings as well, but couldn't capitalize.
"He found a way to get us out of innings and he just did one heck of a job on the mound tonight," Hurt said. "I can't say enough about his [performance]. Great job."
On the other side of the mound, Buchanan was no slouch for Texarkana. He gave up three runs on 11 hits (four coming in the bottom of eighth inning) and no walks in eight innings. He hit a batter and struck out six while throwing 113 pitches.
"He threw one heck of a game, too," Hurt said of Buchanan. "Nobody deserved to lose there, neither pitcher. It was a great pitching effort from both of them and we got it done late. I kept telling [the Black Sox] to scratch for a run because whoever gets on top right here is probably going to hold on because the pitchers were just rolling."
The Black Sox (31-5) started the game much like they had the previous two – scoring early. After leadoff man Hunter Mayall grounded out to start the bottom of the first inning, Tyler Brown tripled to right field when the fielder misplayed the ball and let it get away from him. Taylor, the third-place batter, hit a sacrifice fly to right field to put the Sox on top 1-0.
It would stay that way until the top of the third when Taylor would give up his only run. Texarkana's Trevor Rucker reached on an infield single to start the inning and stole second and third base. After Taylor struck out Colton McMahan, Joey Langston doubled to the left-center field gap to tie it at 1-apiece.
Mayall, Pultro and Wilson each went 2 for 4 with Wilson scoring the big insurance run in the eighth. After a slow start, Lessenberry and Hurt came through at the end and both went 1 for 4 with an RBI.
With the win, the Black Sox earned a spot in the state championship game regardless of what they do tonight against Paragould, which they play at 7:30 at Vince DeSalvo Stadium in North Little Rock.
"We have to win [tonight]," Hurt said. "The way the bracket works, yes we are in the championship game, but we win tomorrow we're in the championship game having to be beat twice. I like our chances in that spot."
Black Sox 14, Colts 4
Bryant scored in every inning except one, including five in the second, in its 14-4 win over the North Little Rock Colts on Saturday. Marcus Wilson went 3 for 4 with three runs and an RBI, Hunter Mayall went 2 for 5 with three RBIs, Hayden Lessenberry went 2 for 2 with three runs and an RBI, Tyler Nelson went 1 for 2 with two runs and two RBIs, Ozzie Hurt went 1 for 3 with a run and two RBIs, Jordan Taylor went 1 for 2 and scored three runs, and Tyler Brown went 1 for 2 with a run and RBI.
Brown started and gave up three runs in three innings pitched and struck out two. Hayden Daniel took over in the fourth inning and got the win. Daniel gave up one run in four innings pitched giving up five hits and two walks while striking out four. The Colts loaded the bases in the top of the seventh with two singles and a walk, but Daniel struck out the next three batters – all looking at a fastball down the middle, a change up and an outside fastball.
"I told him to throw strikes," Darren Hurt said. "I was sick of us throwing behind in the count. We got that big of a lead, just throw strikes."

WAG WAG Exhibition Examines the Perception of Nudity in Canadian Art
The Nude in Modern Canadian Art, 1920-1950, opening at the Winnipeg Art Gallery looks at how the nude body has been perceived and represented by Canadian artists throughout the first half of the 20th century. There will be a public opening of the exhibition at 7:30pm, Thursday, June 17. It continues until August 22.
Some see nudity as simply legitimized nakedness and an insidious way to objectify women. For others, it is a symbol of unfettered freedom. It's a favourite resource of modern advertising, able to titillate, entice, and offend all at once.
"The nude holds an ambiguous place in the history of Canadian art," says Andrew Kear, Associate Curator, Historical Canadian Art. "At times it was a revered subject for creative exploration. At others, it was dismissed as too academic, too derivative of European art. Opinions on the artistic nude have oscillated wildly. This exhibition offers a powerful and complex look at the artistic nude in Canada in relation to European influences, the impact on the health sciences on body image, as the source of popular entertainment, and the role it played in aesthetic experimentation. It brings focus to the nude from its legacy of censorship and dismissal, celebration and exploration."
"While the exhibition is certainly provocative," says WAG Director Stephen Borys, "its real significance resides in the fact that it will provide our audience with front row access to works of art created during the Golden Age of Canadian modernism. The WAG is very pleased to host an exhibition that draws on so many revered public and private art collections from across the country."
The Nude in Modern Canadian Art, 1920-1950 includes more than 110 sculptures, paintings, prints, and photographs representing over 50 artists including Paul-Émile Borduas, Lilias Torrance Newton, Alex Colville, Bertram Brooker, and L.L. FitzGerald. It is curated by Michèle Grandbois, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and Anna Hudson, York University. It is organized and toured by the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.

Policy I-15
This is an archived version of the policy. See current university policy here
(Administrative Practice – 4/19/07)
The general purpose of this policy is to protect any Indiana University employee or other member of the Indiana University community (hereinafter "Individuals") who makes a good faith disclosure of suspected wrongful conduct. More specifically it:
- • encourages an atmosphere that allows Individuals to meet their obligations to disclose violations of law and serious breaches of conduct covered by University policies,
- • informs Individuals how allegations of wrongful conduct may be disclosed,
- • protects Individuals from reprisal by adverse academic or employment action taken within Indiana University as a result of having disclosed wrongful conduct, and
- • provides Individuals who believe they have been subject to reprisal a process to seek relief from retaliatory acts that fall within the authority of Indiana University.
Statement of Policy
Individuals are expected to abide by state and federal laws and regulations as well as University policies. Furthermore, an Indiana University employee cannot be compelled by a supervisor or University official to violate a law or University policy. In the interest of the University, Individuals who have knowledge of specific acts which he or she reasonably believes violates the law or University policy must disclose those acts to an appropriate University official.
This policy supplements the existing Indiana state statute (IC 20-12-1-8) and protects reporting Individuals who make a good faith report (as defined in section 2.0 of this policy) from retaliatory academic or employment action including discharge, reassignment, demotion, suspension, harassment, or other discrimination.
The University shall devise procedures for handling a Good Faith Report of Wrongful Conduct and for responding to complaints of reprisal or retaliation against Individuals making such reports. Such procedures shall conform to the guidelines detailed below. These procedures should be published in University and campus handbooks, as well as on applicable websites.
Wrongful Conduct/ Good Faith Report
"Wrongful Conduct" is defined in this policy to be:
- • a violation of applicable state and/or federal laws and regulations
- • a serious violation of University policy
- • the use of University property, resources, or authority for personal gain or other non University-related purpose except as provided under University policy
"Good Faith Report" is defined in this policy to be an allegation of Wrongful Conduct made by Individual who believes that Wrongful Conduct may have occurred. However, an allegation is not in Good Faith if it is made with reckless disregard for or willful ignorance of facts that would disprove the allegation.
Making Disclosures
If the University has existing policies and procedures for maintaining standards of conduct and disclosing Wrongful Conduct, those policies should be followed to disclose such Wrongful Conduct. Relevant policies include but may not be limited to:
- • Indiana University Policy on Research Integrity
- • Indiana University Financial Management Services Policy on Fiscal Misconduct (I-30)
- • Indiana University Financial Management Services Policy on Fraud (I-35)
The above policies should be used to report any wrongful conduct covered by those policies. Unless the complainant believes the responsible office may be involved, other instances of wrongful conduct should be reported to the university or campus office responsible for the policy area (e.g., NCAA violations should be reported to the campus athletics compliance officials and sexual harassment should be reported to the Office of Affirmative Action).
Complaints of Reprisal
Individuals who have been subjected to an adverse academic or employment action based on his or her Good Faith Report of alleged Wrongful Conduct may contest the action by filing a written complaint of reprisal with the Office of University Counsel, Human Resources, or the office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. Nothing in this policy is intended to interfere with legitimate employment decisions.
State Statute Reference
Indiana University employees enjoy whistleblower protection under Indiana Code 20-12-1-8. Nothing in this policy shall be construed in such a way as to conflict with other reporting obligations under state or federal law, or the provisions and protection of the Indiana Code, as set forth below: IC 20-12-1-8 Protection of employees reporting violations of federal, state, or local laws; disciplinary actions; procedures
- a. An employee of a state educational institution (as defined in IC 20-12-0.5-1) may report in writing the existence of:
- 1. a violation of a federal law or regulation;
- 2. a violation of a state law or rule;
- 3. a violation of an ordinance of a political subdivision (as defined in IC 36-1-2-13); or
- 4. the misuse of public resources; first to a supervisor or appointing authority, unless the supervisor or appointing authority is the person whom the employee believes is committing the violation or misuse of public resources. In that case, the employee may report the violation or misuse of public resources in writing to either the supervisor or the appointing authority or to any official or agency entitled to receive a report from the state ethics commission under IC 4-2-6-4(b)(2)(G) or IC 4-2-6-4(b)(2)(H). If a good faith effort is not made to correct the problem within a reasonable time, the employee may submit a written report of the incident to any person, agency, or organization.
- b. For having made a report under subsection (a), an employee may not:
- 1. be dismissed from employment;
- 2. have salary increases or employment related benefits withheld;
- 3. be transferred or reassigned;
- 4. be denied a promotion that the employee otherwise would have received; or
- 5. be demoted.
- c. Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b), an employee must make a reasonable attempt to ascertain the correctness of any information to be furnished and may be subject to disciplinary actions for knowingly furnishing false information, including suspension or dismissal, as determined by the employee's appointing authority or the appointing authority's designee. However, any employee disciplined under this subsection is entitled to process an appeal of the disciplinary action under the procedure set forth in any personnel policy or collective bargaining agreement adopted by the state educational institution.
- d. An employer who violates this section commits a Class A infraction

If you are reading this and you still haven't paid your county property or real estate taxes, you have less than 48 hours to do so without penalty.
If you are reading this and you still haven't paid your county property or real estate taxes, you have less than 48 hours to do so without penalty.
Property tax bills are now due at the Newton County Collector's Office. While Monday is New Year's Eve, the collector's office will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day, Newton County Collector Jim Otey said. Taxes may also be sent to the collector's office and, if postmarked Dec. 31, will incur no penalty, Otey said.
"Collections are on pace with what we've had at this time in the past," Otey said. "Right now, we're at about 67 percent complete, which is right on pace."
Otey said Monday will be the office's 'rush day," with collections soaring to 87-88 percent that day.
The office will also accept credit and debit card payments (Visa or MasterCard only) in person at the collector's office or online at www.newtoncountycollector.com and click on the "pay taxes online" link to the left of the main screen.
If paying by credit card, please note: there is a 3 percent convenience fee incurred. Otey said the county does not receive any funds from the fee, but all revenue goes to the credit card processor.
"We don't get a penny of it," he said.
He said businesses do not do that because those credit and debit card fees are reflected in the product price. State law prohibits the collector's office from raising rates to cover the costs of credit and debit card fees, however.
If late on taxes, a 7 percent penalty will be incurred, as well as an additional 2 percent for each month delinquent. For instance, if a taxpayer waits until next December to pay his or her 2012 taxes, he or she will owe the full tax bill, plus an additional 25 percent in penalties and interests.
Otey said his office has added the village of Saginaw and the city of Joplin as entities the county collects taxes for. This brings the total to seven: Neosho, Silver Creek, Seneca, Leawood Village, Loma Linda and the two new entities. The number will drop to six next year, as voters recently approved annexing Silver Creek into Joplin.

Skip to comments.American Charged With Spying (For IRAQ) - Update: Former Mosely Braun,Lofren, DeFazio, and Wyden Aid
Posted on 03/11/2004 7:44:41 AM PST by SierraWasp
click here to read article
Dr. Richard Fuisz, a major CIA operative in Syria during the 1980s, met with a congressional staffer by the name of Susan Lindauer in 1994 and told her that that the perpetrators of the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland were based in Syria [see "The Lockerbie Bombing Trial: Is Libya Being Framed?" Middle East Intelligence Bulletin, June 2000]. One month after their meeting, the Clinton administration, which holds Libya responsible for the bombing, placed a gag order on Dr. Fuisz to prevent him from publicly discussing the issue. While Dr. Fuisz is still unable to comment on this matter because of the gag order, MEIB has obtained a copy of a formal deposition filed by Lindauer in 1998 in which she recounts this conversation in detail. This deposition (see below) has been submitted to the court in which two Libyan suspects are currently on trial and to U.N. officials, who have attempted to persuade the Clinton administration to lift the gag order on Dr. Fuisz.
If it's the woman above, there's a lot of explaining to do.
Wow, this could be big. Hey Rush, Hannity, Savage et al., lookey here!
What's the frequently, Kenneth?
Well, since he'd have to win, it's academic, isn't it?
We need to mourn for our nation that politicians would participate with those who target our own soldiers.
This isn't shocking; it's a life-changing reorganization of how one must think about political opponents within our own government.
I was only interested in how the market "correction" was gonna go and the other "Headline" about 6000 less jobless claims, when I spotted this almost burried bit of news on a CBS financial website!!!

Monster (mission)
Carl Johnson demanding information about his family at the ranch in Tierra Robada.
|GTA San Andreas
|Mike Toreno
|Tierra Robada, Bone County
|Pending on time
|Unlocked by
|Yay Ka-Boom-Boom
Monster is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by government agent Mike Toreno from his ranch in Tierra Robada, San Andreas.
Carl is welcomed by a mysterious voice, who apparently knows a thing or two about his family. The voice says that Carl needs to impress him and let him see what Carl is made of. He instructs Carl to take a monster truck out for a drive. Carl talks to this person who instructs him what to specifically do. He also tells Carl about the monster truck, and how to handle it. After that small talk, Carl traverses Tierra Robada in the monster truck, passing through all thirty-five markers and returning back to the ranch in less than six and a half minutes. Carl is then rewarded with money depending on his time and position.
Voice: Carl, darling, welcome.
Carl Johnson: Some fucking welcome, man. What you know about my family?
Voice: Now first we need to see what you're made of.
Carl Johnson: What do I look like I'm made of? Pudding?
Voice: No - anger, and hate. And that's what I like about you. There's a truck in the garage. Whaddya say we take it for a spin.
(CJ is talking with a guy, probably a mechanic)
Guy: Here's the deal, this is all about speed and commitment. You got a GPS in the cab. Get to each set of map coordinates as quick as you can. Make it to all the coordinates then get the truck back here. Lose the truck and you fail.
Carl Johnson: First, what's a GPS? Second, fail what? And third, who the fuck are you?
Guy: Sorry, need-to-know basis only! Oh, one more thing, this baby's got four-wheel steering instead of a handbrake. Good luck!
(After CJ gets back)
Guy: The boss will be in touch.
The reward for completing the mission depends on the time position:
- $5,000 for 1st place, in 4:19 or less.
- $4,000 for 2nd place, between 4:20 and 4:59.
- $3,000 for 3rd place, between 5:00 and 5:29.
- $2,000 for 4th place, between 5:30 and 5:59.
- $1,000 for 5th place, between 6:00 and 6:29.
The mission "Highjack" is unlocked after a post-mission phone call from the same mysterious caller informing the player to meet him. The player can also keep the Monster.
- Carl does not know what a GPS is because in 1992, Global Positioning Systems were expensive and bulky military hardware found only on ships and planes. It would be about a decade or so before Garmin and other GPS manufacturers would start making GPS units for consumers.
Carl Johnson speeds through the planned course on his Monster.

We are unable to ship Red Wing Heritage products outside the USA/Canada. Further details Oh, man, where to begin with Kapital? Founded in 1984, in Kojima – a town widely regarded as the 'denim capital' of Japan, hence the name – Kapital began life focusing solely on denim but has since expanded it's line to offer a full range of clothing and accessories. However, the brand truly found it's 'voice' when the founder brought his son on board as head designer. Unusual fabrics, such as their iconic Century Denim, and exemplary build quality are what sets Kapital apart from so many of their peers. Toshikiyo Hirata, the founder of Kapital, was working for a jeans brand in the 70s and early 80s, but tired of simply churning out copies of American jeans and wanted to bring a more Japanese sensibility to the design of denim. Having had an epiphany during a trip to America - oddly enough, he came here to teach karate for a while - upon his return, he left his job and founded Kapital. Today, Toshikiyo is still the company's president and his son Kiro is still the head designer - and the interplay between father & son allows Kapital to stay true to its traditional roots, whilst engaging with modern aesthetics and more forward-looking styles. The key detail in every Kapital product is something that Toshikiyo himself can only describe simply as 'heart'. Both he & Kiro view the designs as almost akin to their children and take the same pride in giving 100% to them that one would take in their child getting an A grade. Both Toshikiyo and Kiro fully embrace the idea of clothing having a personality, and one that is shaped by the wearer as much as the designer – much like the nature vs. nurture debate. When Kiro joined the team more than a decacde ago, he took Kapital's overall feel and nixed it, beginning again from scratch and - with the input of both father & son - the brand has grown into an ever-evolving workshop of ideas, and one that's constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Toad in the Hole.
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a rustic and olde-worlde name for a tasty and fast classic English pub food: Yorkshire pudding and sausage, cuddled happily together in one baking pan. A perfect quick dinner, using some zesty Italian sausage or bratwurst. Trade those in for some maple breakfast sausage and our Toad could make a spectacular breakfast or brunch. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on proper British bangers, go for it! It comes together in a snap, and requires very little effort or time. It's easily doubled and can feed a crowd. Really, all it needs is a heavy baking pan and some good sausage. Embrace British food, and serve up some toad-in-the-hole! Inspired by Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food. —jammychicken
Serves: 4-6
tablespoons olive oil
pound thick sausage
cup milk
1 1/4
cups all-purpose flour
tablespoon grainy mustard
tablespoon dried thyme
teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Find a heavy baking dish (ceramic, metal) that the sausages fit into with some clearance on all sides of every sausage. The more space the more crispy Yorkshire pudding you'll get. However, you don't want the sausages to be lost in a giant pan. Aim for cozy over crowded or empty.
- Pour the oil in a baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom. Add the sausage and toss well to coat. Bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes.
- Now, prepare the batter. Put the remaining ingredients in a blender, food processor or miniprep processor, and blend until smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides after a minute to make sure all the flour is incorporated.
- Take the pan with the sausage out of the oven and pour the batter over and around the sausage. Return to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, until the batter is puffed and golden.

The OC Register just released an awesome prophecy of the future of California.
They predict: A surge in corporate sponsorships in 2010. Marijuana legalization in 2011 and a new source for city revenue. An austerity regime for police, who will only enforce violent crimes, followed by the legalization of prostitution.
Far fetched? Maybe not. California's decade-long budget crisis keeps getting worse >

PEORIA — An East Bluff man was found guilty Wednesday of illegally entering a home and sexually abusing a young girl.
After a two-day trial, Demarco T. Comer, 39, 1117 E. Corrington Ave., was convicted by a Peoria County jury of residential burglary, criminal trespass to a residence and aggravated criminal sexual abuse in connection with the March 9 incident.
Jurors acquitted him of another charge of residential burglary and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He now faces at least four and possibly up to 22 years in prison — if Circuit Judge Kevin Lyons opts for consecutive terms — when sentenced Aug. 22.
Comer was accused of entering an apartment in the 500 block of Northeast Washington Street sometime before 6 a.m. March 9. When a woman inside went to an upstairs bedroom to check on several children who were sleeping there, she testified she saw Comer in the closet. He pushed her out of the way and then ran out of the room, she told jurors.
The sexual abuse charges stem from Comer abusing a child younger than 13. He remains in custody at the Peoria County Jail.

Maintaining Immigration Status
All international students must register with a Designated School Official (DSO) upon arrival in the United States before the start of every term. (Contact Admissions at 719-587-7712 for more info.) Returning students must check in with the DSO as well. Please bring the following documents with you:
Valid Passport - A passport is a permit from your home country to allow you to leave and reenter your own country. You must have a valid passport (with a validity date for at least six months after your proposed date of entry) for travel into the United States. Do not allow the validity of your passport to expire; you will need at least six months validity beyond your entry date. It is your responsibility to maintain a valid passport.
Renewing your Passport -
You must keep your passport valid at all times. Consult with your consulate or embassy in the United States to renew your passport. The officials there will tell you what forms and fees, if any, are required. If you are required to supply a letter affirming that you are a student at Adams State University, you can request such a letter from the Designated School Official.
SEVIS form I-20 "Certificate of Eligibility" - This is the necessary document to apply for the appropriate visa for entry into the U.S. It proves your eligibility for F-1 status. You must make sure that it is accurate and up-to-date at all times. The form indicates the latest date by which you should report to Adams State. This date is generally the first day of classes. F-1 students need to also have a valid signature from the Designated School Official on Page 3 of their I-20 in order to reenter the US. The signature is valid for one academic year.
Expiring I-20 Form -
If your I-20 will expire before you complete your program, you must apply for an extension of your I-20. To do so, consult with the Designated School Official. You must apply for an extension at least 30 days prior to expiration.
There are serious penalties for "overstaying" your I-20 expiration. If you stay beyond your authorized stay for 1-179 days, your F-1 visa will become invalid and you will fail to maintain your status. If you remain in the country beyond your authorized stay for 180-360 days, your visa becomes invalid and you will have to wait three years to obtain a new visa. If you stay beyond your authorized stay for more than 360 days, your visa becomes invalid and you will have to wait 10 years to obtain a new visa to enter the USA.
I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) - This card, if issued, is placed into your passport at the port of entry and shows that you have lawfully entered the United States. It is usually stapled onto the U.S. Visa page of your passport. The form identifies your arrival date, your visa status, and your length of stay, usually marked D/S (duration of status). The duration status is defined in the following paragraph:
8 C.F.R. § 214.2(f)(5)(i) general definition of F-1 "duration of status" - "Duration of status is defined as the time during which an F-1 student is pursuing a full course of studies study at an educational school approved by the Service for attendance by foreign students, or engaging in authorized practical training following completion of studies, except that an F-1 student who is admitted to attend a public high school is restricted to an aggregate of twelve months of study at any public high school(s). An F-1 student may be admitted for a period up to 30 days before the start of the course of study. An F-1 student who has completed a course of study will be allowed an additional 60-day period to prepare for departure from the United States or prepare for transfer to a higher level at the same or another educational institution. An F-1 student authorized by the DSO to withdraw from classes will be allowed an additional 15-day period for departure from the United States. However, an F-1 student who fails to maintain a full course of study or otherwise fails to maintain status is not eligible for an additional period for departure. The student is considered to be maintaining status if he or she is making normal progress toward completing a course of studies".
Expiring I-94 (if issued) -
There may be a date written in the upper right-hand corner of your I-94. You must leave the USA by that date, or you must apply to extend your stay. If there is no date, but rather the inscription "D/S" (duration of status), you are admitted for the length of your program of study as indicated on your I-20, plus any period of optional practical training, plus 60 days. If you graduate before the completion date indicated on your I-20 you are considered to have completed your program of study and your I-20 is no longer valid.
To verify and print a copy of your most recent I-94, please visit the following website: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html. In addition to identification information, you will need your passport number.
It is extremely important to keep the documents listed above, in addition to the following documents listed below, in a safe place. You will need them in the future in order to identify yourself, apply for employment authorization, prove your status, and maintain a record of your status throughout your stay in the United States. It is also recommended to keep photo copies of the I-94 card, if issued, and I-20 in identity page of your passport. It is also suggested that you carry these important documents when traveling.
- Proof of Payment of the I-901 SEVIS fee
- Evidence of financial resources
- Per Immigration laws and regulations, you need to be a full-time student and "In Status" at all times. Full-time status minimum unit load is 15 credit hours per semester (spring and fall). No more than the equivalent of one on-line/distance education class or 3 credits per session may count towards the "full course of study" requirement.

16th Annual "Celebrate Summer" Blood Drive at Nassau Community College
Tuesday, May 24 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.Public Invited to Participate
Garden City, NY – Nassau Community College, in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, invites members of the community to make a blood donation during its annual "Celebrate Summer" Blood Drive, scheduled for Tuesday, May 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the College Center Building.
NCC, in cooperation with Nassau University Medical Center, hopes to supply a substantial percentage of our area's ongoing need for blood products. The drive will also reflect the College's six times a year effort to encourage all able individuals to participate in this vital activity. Dr. Arthur Friedman, Co-Chair of the NCC Blood Drive Task Force, states, "The Memorial Day holiday begins the summer season, when traffic and other accidents typically create a high demand for blood and blood products. Many blood donors are on vacation, which decreases the pool of available donors. Therefore, it's especially important to have an ample supply on hand."
The donation process takes less than an hour and light refreshments will be served to participants. Blood donors must be at least 17 years old and in good health. Donors should come with some photo identification. Although small snacks will be provided, we also ask that donors eat before donating. For more information about NCC's annual "Celebrate Summer" Blood Drive, please call Dr. Friedman at 516.572.7883.ref: 1537.5/11/11/190

Jealousy and intrigue, on and off the set of a popular daytime soap opera. Celeste Talbert is the neurotic diva of "The Sun Also Sets," but her popularity with the show's fans does not extend to her relationships with her envious co-stars. Sultry Montana Moorehead has set her eyes on the soap's top spot, and she even offers to sleep with the show's nervous young producer if he'll have Celeste written off the program. In a moment of inspiration, the horny executive decides to bring Talbert's hated ex-lover, Jeffrey Anderson, back onto the series, with the hope of driving the fragile star to an early retirement. The fact that Anderson's character was decapitated in an earlier episode is seen as a difficult, but not insurmountable, obstacle. Stephen Nichols (Stefan, GH; Patch, DAYS) appears as himself in the film.

555 We Tip
555 We Tip is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Officer Frank Tenpenny from Carl's garage in the Doherty district of San Fierro, San Andreas.
|555 We Tip
Frank Tenpenny gives instructions to Carl Johnson on his task.
|GTA San Andreas
|Frank Tenpenny
|District Attorney (D.A.)
|Doherty, San Fierro
Valet missions
|Unlocked by
|Wear Flowers in Your Hair
Frank Tenpenny phones Carl Johnson, checking on him and how he's doing in San Fierro. Carl replies negatively. Tenpenny gives him a task to plant The Truth's weed on someone trying to get him and Pulaski in trouble and call the cops. Carl initially refuses, citing the code of the streets, but once Tenpenny informs him that the person is a district attorney, he gladly does the task.
He goes to the Vank Hoff Hotel in the Financial district. Once there, he follows a valet to an underground parking lot. Once there, he kills the valet in order to get his uniform, which is used as a disguise. Carl goes outside and waits for the D.A., who is arriving on a blue Merit. Once the D.A. has arrived in the valet space, Carl hops in the Merit and quickly goes to his garage, stashing up drugs in the trunk of the blue Merit. He quickly returns to the underground parking lot without sustaining any damage whatsoever, and goes to the valet space. Once there, Carl calls We Tip, saying that something highly suspicious is going on. Some SFPD policemen arrive shortly after, with them checking on the DA and his car. They find tons of drugs in his car's trunk, and as a result, they arrest the district attorney.
Frank Tenpenny (on phone): Carl, how's San Fierro?
Carl Johnson: It's fucked up. I can honestly say I wish you was here.
Frank Tenpenny: Great. Now, you got the present for that friend of mine, right, you know the one trying to get me and old Officer Pulaski into trouble?
Carl Johnson: Yeah.
Frank Tenpenny: Why don't you put that up in his car and give We Tip a call.
Carl Johnson: Hey, motherfucker, the code of the streets is that I don't snitch. I don't give a fuck if it kills you, me, my brother. Street cats don't call no cops.
Frank Tenpenny: Carl, he's a DA.
Carl Johnson: Oh yeah? Well where I go' find him?
Frank Tenpenny: He's at the Vank Hoff Hotel in the Financial.
Carl Johnson: Oh for sure.
(Carl Johnson arrives at the valet space)
Valet: Ah, you must be the new boy. Get in line.
(DA arrives at the valet space)
Valet: Hey that's the DA. He's a good tipper.
(Carl Johnson, calling We Tip)
Carl Johnson: Hello? This WE TIP? I seen something highly suspicious you should come check out...
(SFPD arrive)
Policeman #1: Police! Don't move! Get outta the car with your hand in the air!
D.A.: Do you know who you're fucking with here? I'll have your badge, you moron!
Policeman #1: Shut up! You found anything back there?
Policeman #2: Found anything? He's got half of Mexico in here! Must be two tons of Mary here!
D.A.: What? But... but I've never seen... how could it be..?
Policeman #1: Hell of a defense you got there, buddy.
There is no monetary reward for this mission, but the mission Deconstruction is unlocked. The Valet asset missions are also unlocked.
- A reference to the mission can be seen in the mobile game Gangstar: Crime City, which is known for being a thinly-veiled Grand Theft Auto clone.
- If you crash the street lamp before contacting We Tip, you can see that CJ is leaning on air in the cutscene.
- If the player gently runs over the D.A. then he will be under the car, but when the police cutscene shows, the first D.A. that you ran over is lying dead on the ground, while another D.A. is being used in the cutscene so the player can see two D.A.'s rather than one.
- 'We Tip' may be a reference to CrimeStoppers.
- When the police officer arrested the D.A. he slaps him to the ground,this likely a reference to jokes about the brutality of police officers on the West Coast.
Carl Johnson surreptitiously takes out a valet for his uniform.
The San Fierro Police Department places the DA under arrest.

I am in complete agreement on this subject.ReplyDelete
Benediction is sitting in my old priest's bank, it's something I'd never get rid of.
The quest to get it was interesting and fun, as it was a trail built specifically around the tool set of a priest. One of the biggest advantages of a Class based quest is just that, you build it for the class, where non-specific quests tend to be easy because they have to be balanced around everyone being able to complete them
Benediction and Rhok'delar were still limited to raiders. But non raider would probably enjoy a good end-game quest line too, if not more.ReplyDelete
The required drops came from very difficult to nearly impossible bosses. Onyxia was a challenge for all of vanilla for most raids. And the huge majority of the player base probably has never seen Lord Kazzak at all.
While I agree that legendary weapon are a waste of development time I don't think Benediction and Rhok'delar were much better. They were also limited to a small percentage of the player base.
You missed the single best weapon quest chain blizzard has ever done: Quel'Delar. Very involved, amazing lore, anyone can do it and get something useful but not game breaking from it, and it was relatively available (I would have preferred a higher droprate and not be tradable)ReplyDelete
I just dont understand Blizzard's position on legendaries in Cata. They removed class quests (that players loved) and said they wouldn't do any more because so few players got to see them, but then they poor tons of rescources into these legendary chains that only a small percentage of a class gets to see? I don't get it.
I've no problem with legendaries in general beyond that except I felt they were a little too common this xpac. Legebndaries should be rare and hard to get, the epic quests should be for everyone, or at least everyone that is willing to commit the effort to see them. No other thing in the entirety of WoW's existence has upset me more than knowing no matter what I do, my main will never EVER be able to elect the new leader of the blue dragonflight, or help out the last remaining black dragon, simply becuase of his class.
I enjoyed this post, and your examples of staff and bow hit the perfect chord.ReplyDelete
I agree, though I don't think they need to be limited to class weapons. As Elladrion pointed out, Quel'dalar had an excellent story to it. Quel'serar wasn't quite as story-filled, but I was quite happy when I finally managed to stab it into Onyxia for the last step. It took two tries because the first time, someone skinned her a little too quickly.ReplyDelete

Rohan - I am sorry, but I do not agree with your blog on this subject.ReplyDelete
First of all, the concept of a legendary in my opinion, is to to remain rare in number and possibly have powers that can only be invoked by a minority of people. The determination of the minority can be by class, stat level, number of hours of grinding, or any other barrier to obtainment and use that can be thought of by Blizzard. To me, the only equalization required for individuals regarding legendaries is time. When will it be my chance to obtain a legendary? When the barriers to obtainment of a particular legendary suit my particular stats, class, hours of grinding, etc.
For the person that can obtain a legendary, is it not exciting and fun to have something that not everyone in the game can obtain?
I feel the real issue here is that people in general seem to become way too jealous that somebody has something that they do not. They then cry foul if they are unable to obtain it by whatever reasoning that they can come up with. Most of the time the reasoning translates into an excuse as to why they are not willing to work for said item or why they feel it is somehow unfair. Legendaries by nature should require work to obtain and nowhere is there any rule that they should be fairly distributed. Why not look at it from the point of view from the proud owner of that newly obtained legendary and be happy for that person?
In the end, I do feel that jealousy has led to a lot of crying that in turn has led to a lot of decisions by Blizzard to water down WoW. Uniqueness is a bad word in WoW. Lets have every healer do AoE healing (paladins lose their uniqueness as spot/tank healers); lets have raid gear available to everyone (everyone looked the same before transmogrifacation); lets have have legendaries available for everyone (legendaries, even if by class, become the new epics)
If everyone gets everything that everyone else gets, the game will be a very bland game indeed.
The legendary daggers definitely drove home the "amazing content, but only for a super small subset of players" point. My guild let me pickpocket Haggara on my Rogue alt to start the quest, and I was able to complete the first chain to get the 397 daggers. The story was interesting and the stealth missions and special boss were challenging. It definitely reminded me of having to kill the skeletons and heal the peasants for the Benediction quest chain.ReplyDelete
The argument that only raiders can see any piece of the step is certainly valid. If anything, I'd like to see the first step of a Legendary chain be like Quel'delar; doable by anyone through time sinks, heroic dungeons, gold sinks, or even through LFR. It could reward a nice normal mode raid level epic, and the last step to turn it into a Legendary could be the generic collect X shards/fragments/gems/blahblah that only drop in normal/heroic raids. By frontloading the lore and quests in the chain, it wouldallow non raiders to experience the "Legendary Content", but still give raiding guilds their Legendary item and status.
I have to agree on this.ReplyDelete
Another weapon to consider is the Quel'Delar quest line, with the fixed drop rate. Once that drop rate was tweaked, I think I saw that battered hilt drop only once in an Icecrown 5-man. That seemed a decent amount of rarity to make it worthwhile to have, and at the same time for the non-raiders it gave you a chance to have a raid-quality weapon.
I also think that Rhok'Delar (can only speak about Benediction from what read about it) was a very good item/quest combination.ReplyDelete
1) It came early enough in the game that, if you raided, you had a reasonable chance to get it in Vanilla.
2) It made you work for your Epic, and you learned a lot about your class on the way if you hadn't already known. To kill Artorius, hunters needed to learn how to kite properly. This knowledge came just in time, because the first boss of the next tier, Razorgore, required hunters to know how to kite properly.
Quest lines like this would probably be a great training ground for newly dinged max levels. Learn more about your class, learn how to use your abilities properly, become a better player solo, so you can afterwards bring in your new experience in group and raid content.
@anonymous: The problem is not one of jealousy or uniqueness, but that a large guild effort yields only individual gain. It's much easier to distribute ten items to ten people than one item to one out of ten people. I'm not saying that normal loot is drama-free, but it's much easier to distribute when no one is entirely left out. Call it jealousy, or recognize that nine of ten people get little to nothing for their effort.ReplyDelete
I LOVE this idea. Give every class a quest chain that is difficult and time consuming, plays to the strengths and weaknesses of the class, and rewards a raid-equivalent weapon for the tier. Add ways to update it via raids as tiers are added. There are certainly downsides, but transmitting eliminates most of them, and the others could be avoided through intelligent design choices.ReplyDelete
The biggest benefit I see is the opportunity to make classes feel unique and important, through storytelling instead of spell selection. Blizzard's approach to raiding, from LFR to ability homoginization to points-based loot systems, has done a lot to improve the quality of life in-game. The costs have been discussed at length, sense of community being the one most often mentioned, but in my opinion immersion has suffered more and has consequences that are less obvious. Giving that depth, variety, and feeling of involvement back to players via quests, lore, and challenges to overcome would add a great deal to the game that I for one have been missing

@ Klepsacovic: "Call it jealousy, or recognize that nine of ten people get little to nothing for their effort."ReplyDelete
I recognize that people will get nothing immediately "tangible" for their efforts. If personal "tangible" reward is solely the goal, then the 9 of 10 people should not help the individual get their legendary as there is nothing in it for them.
However, I do not believe that belonging to a guild or group should be about personal reward only. Helping a person gain their legendary should help the group/guild as a whole and at the very least, bring about a personal satisfaction that you helped someone else. Helping out for the greater good may lead to a boss kill that you could not get before, allow for easier recruitment into your guild, a building of community within your guild, or a number of other less tangible benefits.
I also point out, going for a legendary is a matter of choice for individuals and the guild that helps those individuals. Nobody has to obtain a legendary. If an individual wants a legendary and requires guild help to get it, this quest does provide a focus for the guild which can be a good thing.
As far as the choice of who goes for the legendary within the guild, well, that is a matter of guild politics. Group politics is a very dynamic issue and is dependant on a number of factors such as the players, history, leadership, and external pressures. However, in my opinion, if the guild group is working well together towards common goals, drama should be minimal when it comes to the next goal - who will get the legendary.

I still believe that there should be powerful PvP legendaries rather than tier 2 in the seasons with PvE legendaries (these 'legendaries' are allowed to be purple).ReplyDelete
If they add a resilience based divine protection on current t2 it would compensate for the PvE counterparts.
I find weapon quest chains fun. They create additional emotional value to my characters. You made a good point and it got me thinking. The reason why they stopped class chains (not available to everyone) is more true for legendaries than for the classquests (everyone can play class X).
Is it just me, or did I miss the amount of hand-wringing and crying about Dragonwrath? I mean, when every caster in the game got a chance at a legendary, no one seemed to care.ReplyDelete
When we rogues get some love (the first since 2.1 and the Warglaives, I would like to add, and that didn't involve anything other than killing Illidan, unless you were a combat rogue and wanted Quel'Delar), everyone and their dog is talking about "removing legendaries" because of "this, that, or the other thing".
We get an epic quest, we have to use every tool in our toolbox (and even that might not be enough), and from that, we get a legendary item. Non-rogues have received how many since 2.1? Yeah, GET OVER IT.
I may or may not agree that legendary items should or should not be in the game, but the timing of everyone complaining is very interesting to me. Something about Blizzard helping out the least played* class in WoW, and people are up in arms.
*Rogues or warlocks, check for yourself, it changes a LOT
@SoonerFan, Dragonwrath is the problem Legendary, not really Fangs.ReplyDelete
There's a huge differential between a caster with Dragonwrath and one without. Some of the high end guilds were fielding raids where almost every caster had a Dragonwrath.
Hunters were significantly behind the other ranged because they didn't have access to a legendary.
Fangs is a lot less unbalancing because it is the very last tier, and its limited to a single class, and that class is somewhat rare these days.
simply adding in class quests for epics that "grew" with the character. Something similar to BOA gear would work.ReplyDelete
Legendaries will always be a source of contention because most players get very little choice in them. Guild master or raid leader will determine who gets the initial drop. Heaven help the poor guildee who refuses to help on the legendary quest chain. I'm sure anonymous will scream it's their choice but that choice usually boils down to help or find a new guild. I think if everyone got some benefit from helping out on the legendary chain it would be different. Imagine a legendary mount that everyone who helped got. But the devs got sucked into the zero sum game of stopping all complaining so they rush towards homogenization instead of creativity.

If a legendary isn't rare, it isn't legendary.ReplyDelete
If everyone is a hero, no one is.
That's a fundamental, uncorrectable truth.
I actually still don't understand the legendary weapons. By definition, these weapons should be extremely rare (they are) very hard to get (they are) and irreplaceable (um, no).ReplyDelete

21/06/11: Chapter 24 Part 2 On the Other Hand...
Since the inception of AfriCam Graham had wanted a truly mobile camera, called Virtual Game Drive, or VGD, that would be able to transmit images from the game-drive vehicles during game drives.
01/06/11: Chapter 24 Part 1 On the Other Hand...
While all that was going on down the hill at the lodge there was a whole other world of events happening up at the Moolman house. AfriCam was proving to be a rather popular website, and the daily page impressions were growing at a steady rate.
29/03/11: Chapter 23 Vuyatela Part 2
Not only was our lodge design based on local architectural and decorative trends, but we also wanted to involve the surrounding communities in other ways, such as skills acquisition, employment, and endorsing a general pride and celebration of Shangaan culture.
10/03/11: Chapter 23 Vuyatela Part 1
At the start of 1999 we decided to get moving on building our dream lodge to accommodate the potential flood of millennium visitors at the year-end. We knew where we wanted the lodge to be and the necessary completion date, but otherwise not much more.
25/02/11: Chapter 22 Community Development
In 1998 Jurie and I were considering what we should do as far as schooling for Zoë and Rebecca was concerned. Although they were having great fun growing up in the bush I was concerned lest they were not socializing enough with children of their own age. The staff children were usually only at the lodges during school holidays and sometimes over weekends.

I wear a size 12-14. Depending on the pants. I am really proud of having gone from a size 16 to a size 14. So today, while at winners, my dear fiance, deliberately points out a size 0 (………seriously) pair of shorts and screams out loud "BABE! U WANNA TRY ON A PAIR OF SHORTS THAT WILL ONLY FIT ONE BUTTCHEEK???"
I almost immediately started contemplating ways to kill him, should I use a hanger, a scarf, my purse, my bare hands?!?!?!?!?
Ugh, he apologized and said "I didn't mean it that way" right when he saw my face, or my, DEATH STARE as he likes to call it, but honestly, I wonder if he would like it if I said oh, hey can we put that tire of urs hanging from a tree for the kids of the neighborhood to come play!?!?!?
NO! Of course not, and that's not something I would do.
So why does it make it okay just because guys are…..well lets face it……kinda dumb. LOL
I still love him though. <3

CPS introduces new student code of conduct
Chicago Public School students will have a new set of disciplinary rules to follow when they start school this year. The Chicago Board of Education voted Wednesday to pass a substantial amount of changes, additions and deletions to the student code of conduct. Community activists are already speaking out over one new rule that advises schools to only use out-of-school suspensions as a "last resort."
Joel Rodriguez, organizer for Voices for Youth in Chicago Education, or VOYCE, said the new changes aren't enough.
"What we're seeing today is not really nothing new, restorative policy was already encouraged in the Chicago Public schools but the problem is there was no transition into that system, so I'd like to see how are we gonna transition into using less punitive measures and really using restorative justice," Rodriguez said.
VOYCE members rallied at CPS headquarters earlier this month, demanding changes to the code. The protest came at the heels of a study by VOYCE and The Advancement Project that links suspensions and other harsh punishments to an increase in dropouts. Rodriguez said the new code is a step in the right direction, but he is worried it won't be enforced properly.
The code of conduct is reviewed annually by CPS, but changes are only made as the board sees fit. Other new changes include adding "sexting" to the list of items under "inappropriate sexual conduct," and adding gang activity or "overt displays of gang affiliation" under inappropriate behavior.
The new rules will take effect September 15th.

Since 2003 TAC Khayelitsha members have been actively involved in campaigns against violence, particularly violence against women, children, gays and lesbians.
On 16 December 2005, a TAC member 18 year old Nandipha Makeke, was raped and murdered. On the same day another member, Mandla Nkunkuma, was attacked and shot. Mandla Nkunkuma identified his attacker as Yanga Janet who was later arrested for the rape and murder of Nandipha Makeke.

On 12 to 14 March 2008, the court action initiated by TAC and the South African Medical Association (SAMA) against Matthias Rath and the Government of South Africa will be heard in the Cape High Court. This court case is critical for the rule of law as it relates to the Medicines Act.
The trial of the alleged rapists and murderers of TAC member Nandipha Makeke continued in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on 5 March.
A submission has been made to the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) on the health situation of refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented persons.
TAC's Khayelitsha district has published its first district newsletter.
Six UCT medical students have conducted a research project with TAC. Together with TAC members, they surveyed patients at two health facilities in Cape Town on their perceptions and knowledge of TB and HIV service integration.

Suspended Drama in the Photographs of Tim Parchikov
Artsy Editorial
Drawing on his background as a filmmaker, photographer and video artist Tim Parchikov captures solitary figures, as well as urban and rural landscapes, in luminous color, light, and deep shadow. Each of his series forms a narrative, often with a human subject at the center; Parchikov displays his work in combination with music and video in site-specific installations, in order to create an immersive experience akin to cinema. Deeply influenced by the use of chiaroscuro in both film noir and classical Italian painting, his images have a frozen cinematic quality, perhaps best illustrated in his most famous series "Venice" (2007). A conceptual artist at heart, Parchikov omnivorously scours contemporary culture for subject matter, working with people subjects and semi-abstracted objects and spaces interchangeably.
Russian, b. 1983, Moscow, Russia, based in Moscow, Russia
